Vast corpus of written literary French texts from 16th to 20th centuries:3350 literary works. The textual database is covering a period dating from 1505 to 1997. In this corpus, subject to regular updating and enhancing, the pr
oposed text are errors less and the captured data editions are very accurate. Ona subset of the corpus, morphologicaly annotated ( 1940 texts), you can do interrogation on the graphic forms, and/or on morphological tags, either independently, or in the sa
me request. There are multiple applications to various areas of linguistic research: sub-lexicon extraction, morphological studies, local syntax and recurrent syntactic patterns, semantic and stylistic studies, corpus tagging and evaluation procedures.

The TLFi is a lexical database and a finely structured knowledge base. It contains: about 100000 words with 270000 definitions, more than 430000 examples from the last two centuries literature. A real computerized dictionary, t
he TLFi allow full text requests throughout its whole content; it contains also a hierarchy between the textual objects, using a special internal tag set and a special control grammar. The whole dictionary has been transformed into an XML document. The f

The \\"Encyclopadie ou Dictionnaire raisonna des sciences, des arts et des matiers, par une Sociata de Gens de lettres\\" was published under the direction of Diderot, with 17 volumes of text and 11 volumes of plates between 1751 a
nd 1772. Containig 72000 articles written by more than 140 contributors, the Encyclopadie was a massive reference work work for the arts and sciences, as well as a machine de guerre which served to propagate Enlightened ideas. The impact of the Encyclopa
die was enormous. Through its attempt to classify learning and to open all domains of human activity to its readers, the Encyclopadie gave expression to many of the most important intellectual and social developments of its time. The current electronic ve
rsion implements a fast, flexible search engine. It is a cooperative project of ATILF and ARTFL (American and French Research of the French Language). The Encyclopadie database contains 20.8 million words, 400000 unique forms, 18000 pages of text, 17 volu
mes of articles, and 11 volumes of plate legends. You can do: searches for articles or groups of articles (by : article headword, author, category of knowledge, part of speech), full text searches (for : words, phrase, co-occurrences of words, word or phr
ase frequency per article ) , cross-references from one article to another, links from plate legends to plate images, links to digitized images of each page of text.

nd an abridged version, the Dictionariolum puerorum latinogallicum, for beginners.

Jean Nicot's \\"Thresor de la langue francoyse\\" is the key to the development of French lexicography. The sum of four editions of Robert Estienne's bilingual Dictionaire francois-latin, the Threysor assumed, through the contribu
tions of Nicot, the nature of a monolingual French dictionary.

s of the first (1694), 5th (1798), and 6th (1835) editions or on the 8th (1932-35) and the 9th.
